The city was like a box of catnip - intriguing and inviting. The cats strutted around on cobbled paws, admiring the old buildings.

But be careful not to step on the cat's tail while navigating the narrow alleys. The locals are friendly, and the cat cafes are purrfectly delightful.

Mindful meoweler tips

Explore the Arges River

Follow the path of the fish and take a relaxing stroll along the banks of Arges River. Look for local cats fishing for their own dinner and enjoy the idyllic surroundings.

Sample traditional Romanian cuisine

Sink your paws into sarmale (stuffed cabbage rolls) and mici (grilled minced meat rolls) at a local restaurant. Don't forget to wash it down with a shot of tuica, a potent plum brandy.

Visit the Poenari Castle ruins

Climb the 1480 steps to reach the ruins of Vlad the Impaler's fortress. Take in the breathtaking views and imagine what life was like for the infamous Dracula.

Attend a local festival

Join the feline festivities at Pitesti's annual Cat Festival. Enjoy live music, cat-themed activities and meet some of the local cats - who knows, you might even leave with a new furry friend.

Explore the shops in downtown Pitesti

Stroll through the city center and explore the local shops. Keep your whiskers alert for unique finds like handmade ceramics, traditional clothing, and souvenirs. Don't forget to say 'meow' to the friendly shop cats.
